12 Building Smarter Planet Solutions with MQTT and IBM WebSphere MQ Telemetry
1.3 Benefits of using MQTT
Using the MQTT protocol extends WebSphere MQ to tiny sensors and other remote telemetry
devices that might otherwise be unable to communicate with a central system or that might be
reached only through the use of expensive, dedicated networks. Network limitations can
include limited bandwidth, high latency, volume restrictions, fragile connections, or prohibitive
costs. Device issues can include limited memory or processing capabilities, or restrictions on
the use of third-party communication software. In addition, some devices are
battery-powered, ...
